r Application led December 8, 1915. Serial No. 652845.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, IRA JoNEs, a citizen of the United States, residing`at Pottstown,

in the countyT of Montgomery and State of Pennsylvania, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Detachable fCodec-Pot Handles of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to a detachable handle for coffee pots or similarreceptacles and consists in the novel features hereinafter de..

scribed and claimed.

The handle is designed especially to be used upon similar receptacles orutensils and particularly those which have to be handled While hot, andin which it is desirable to prevent the handle becoming too hot to beused.l

handle; and nally to provide a handle having a securing catch easilyoperable from the hand engaging the handle and in which said catch isnot depended upon {exclusively to support the weight of the receptacle.v

In the accompanying'drawings,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a coffee pot with the. handle applied.Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the handle.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the same cut on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.Fig. 4 is a similar view cut on the line 4 4 of the same figure.

As illustrated in the accompanying drawings the pot 1 is of the usualconiguration and is provided in the vicinity of its upper Thehandlelcomprises Aa metallic bracket- 5 having at its upper and lowerportions` outstanding arms 6, the said arms 6 are provided withdownwardly'disposed extremities 7 which are adapted to t snugly `in theloops 2 whereby the end portions of the 'arms 6 may it in the recesses 3of the said loops.

The uppermost extremity 7 is 'provided-at,v

its side adjacent the, intermediate portion of the bracket 5 with anoutstanding shoulder 8.' Thesaid extremity is provided at a point belowthe said shoulder 8 with an` openmg '9. A guide 10 carried at.theuppermost arm 6 has a 'catch bolt 11 slidablymounted in the guide 10 andis adapted to enter the opening 9 when the said bolt is in projectedposition., A trigger piece 12 is mounted upon the catch bolt 1.1 andaspring pressed,

means is interposed between the intermediate portion of the bracket 5and the trig ger piece 12 and is under lthe tendency to .normally holdthe end portion of the catch bolt 11 in the. opening 9 in the uppermostextremity 7 of the handle structure. The handle grip `14 is mounted uponthe inter mediate 4portion of the bracket 5 and the said intermediateportion of the bracket and the said handle grip are apertured as at 15to receive the outer portion of the bolt 11 whenfthe said bolt is movedto a retracted position in the said guide 10. Y

When the handle `is ap lied to the pot-or receptacle the extremitiesgare slipped down into-the loops 2 while the end portions of the arms 6may engage the recesses 3 atthe upper edges of the said loops. When thebolt 11 moves into alinement with the aperture 4 the tensionof the'spring 13 comes into lplay 'whereby fthe bolt is moved longitudinally-and passes ythrough the aperture '4 and enters the opening'9 in theuppermost extremity 7. Then the handle is secured intoI the side of thepot. To remove the handle the operator grasps the grip 14 and p assesthree fingers around the trigger piece 12 and moves the said triggertoward the intermediate portion of the bracket'. IDuring this movement'the spring 13 is compressed while the bolt 11 is withdrawn from theopening 4Sand from the aperture 4 in the -uppermost out of the loops 2.This arrangement provides for a very rigid connection between the handleand the receptacle. 4

The edges. of the recesses 3 provided at the upper portions of the loops2 assist in directing .the extremities 7 into the said loops when thehandle is being applied and the)T also assist the bolt 11 in holding thehandle in position when applied. I l Having thus described the inventionwhat '5 is claimed is In combination with a receptacle provided at itssides with loops having recesses lo cated at their upper edges and ahandle comprising a bracket having' outstanding 4arms,

10 and provided .with extremities adapted to pass through the recessesand enter the loops whereby the end portions of tl'e arm'may it inthevrecesses of the loops, one of the extremities being provided withVan opening and'o'ne of the loops being provided with an 15 aperture anda -spring pressed catch bolt slidably mounted upon the handle andadapted to enter the said perture and the opening whereby thehan e issecured in position with relation to the receptacle.

In testimony whereof` I afix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
